I can’t believe that Christmas is almost here! I have so much to do before it comes and I feel like I am running out of time.
If you are looking for a few last minute Christmas decor ideas or a little something to give as a gift, then I have you covered.
1. 3D Paper Christmas Trees
These 3D paper Christmas trees are the perfect addition to your mantle or entryway table.
You can use any type of paper you want, so you can choose a color scheme that fits your decor.
Get the tutorial at The Navage Patch.
2. Fancy Ornaments
If you’re a fan of the modern trend of fancy ornaments, you can easily make them yourself.
This DIY project uses air dry clay to make the ornaments, and then they’re painted with a few different designs.
You can get creative with your own patterns or use the ones in the tutorial. After the ornaments are dry, you can add string to hang them on the tree.
3. Snowflake Garland
This easy-to-make snowflake garland will add a wintry touch to your Christmas decor.
To create it, simply use a hot glue gun to attach mini wooden snowflakes to a length of string. Then, hang the garland on your tree, mantel, or in a window.
Pro Tip: If you’re not a fan of the traditional red and green
Christmas color scheme, you can easily customize this garland to match your decor by painting the snowflakes any color you like.
4. Christmas Light Strand
A light strand is a must-have for Christmas decor, but that doesn’t mean it has to be the same year after year!
Create a light strand that is completely unique to your style by adding a few simple DIY touches.
We added a few pieces of wood to our light strand to create a simple garland that we can display on a mantel, in a window, or even on the wall.
5. DIY Christmas Card Holder
Christmas cards are a beautiful way to spread holiday cheer and show your loved ones you’re thinking about them.
But, let’s face it, they can be a bit of a hassle to display. Instead of trying to tape them to your wall, make this DIY Christmas card holder.
This one is made with a wire wreath and some festive ribbon, but you can also make one with a wooden wreath form or a garland.
Hang it on a door, a window, or on a wall for a beautiful and festive display.
6. Snowy Pinecone Candle Jars
These snowy pinecone candle jars are the perfect way to make your home feel cozy and festive.
They’re also a great way to use up any extra pinecones you have lying around outside.
You can make a bunch of these in just a few minutes, and they make great gifts too!
7. Christmas Tree Mason Jar Votive
This is another mason jar idea that’s super simple and super cute. This time, you’ll take a tree cutout and place it in the jar.
You can paint the tree on the inside of the jar, or you can glue a tree cutout to the inside of the jar’s lid.
Add a little snow to the bottom of the jar and then place a small votive candle in the center.
This is a great project to make in bulk and give as a gift. You can use different colors of paint for the tree, or you can use different shapes for the cutout.
You can also use different sized jars to give to different people.
8. Christmas Sweater Pillows
You can never have too many pillows! These Christmas sweater pillows are so cute and cozy.
I love the idea of repurposing old sweaters to make these pillows. It’s a great way to add texture and color to your holiday decor.
You can also use this tutorial to make a Christmas sweater blanket!
9. Jolly Burlap Table Runner
This festive table runner is made from red and green burlap, cut into strips and woven together.
The edges are frayed for a shabby-chic look, and the words “Merry” and “Bright” are stenciled on with white paint.
You can also add a line of hot glue to the top and bottom of the burlap to prevent more fraying.
This DIY runner is easy to make and costs less than $10.
10. Christmas Ornament Chandelier
This DIY Christmas ornament chandelier from The Crafting Chicks is a great way to add some Christmas cheer to a space that’s not super conducive to a tree, like a dining room.
This is a great way to repurpose an old chandelier and give it a fresh look.
You can also use a hula hoop if you don’t have a chandelier.
Just use a little bit of wire to attach the ornaments to the hoop in a similar way that you would attach them to the chandelier.
Then, attach a hook to the top of the hoop and hang it from the ceiling using some heavy-duty fishing line or twine.
11. DIY Christmas Crate Train
This is a super cute idea from The Keeper of The Cheerios.
You can build a Christmas train out of old crates and then decorate them with Christmas lights, garland, and more.
You can even add a Santa or a snowman to the train. This is a fun and easy way to create a large piece of Christmas decor.
12. Christmas Card Wreath
When it comes to the holiday season, I always end up with a pile of Christmas cards that I never know what to do with.
I love the idea of displaying them in a cute way. This Christmas card wreath is the perfect way to show off your Christmas cards and it’s so easy to make!
I love the idea of using a vintage frame for this project. You can find a frame at your local thrift store and then paint it to match your holiday decor.
Then all you need to do is attach some ribbon and you have a super cute Christmas card wreath!
13. Snow Globe Soap Dispensers
Transform your bathroom into a winter wonderland with these adorable snow globe soap dispensers.
All you need are some mini Christmas figurines, glycerin, distilled water, and a mason jar. Get the tutorial at The Country Chic Cottage.
14. Mini Snow Globe Ornaments
These mini snow globe ornaments are a fun and festive way to add a little extra flair to your tree.
You can make them in minutes and personalize them with any small figurines you like.
The best part about these snow globes is that they won’t take up any space on your mantel or shelves!
15. DIY Christmas Stocking Hangers
If you don’t have a mantel to hang your stockings from, you can easily create a DIY stocking hanger with a piece of wood and some hooks.
This stocking hanger is so simple, but it’s the perfect way to display your stockings.
You can paint the wood any color you like, or you could even add some stencils or vinyl decals to it.
16. Christmas Tree Advent Calendar
Get the kids involved in the holiday crafting by making this sweet advent calendar.
Each of the 24 trees is a little pocket that can hold a small treat or toy.
The best part? It’s reusable year after year!
17. DIY Christmas Ornament Frame
Add a little holiday cheer to your gallery wall with this easy DIY ornament frame.
If you have a frame you’re not using, simply remove the glass and add a piece of string or twine across the middle of the frame.
Then, hot glue your ornaments to the string and let dry. Hang it up and enjoy your new holiday decor!
If you don’t have a frame, you can easily make one with some wood, nails and a hammer.
Simply measure and cut the wood to size, then nail the pieces together to make a frame.
Once your frame is assembled, you can stain or paint it any color you like. Let it dry and then you can add your string and ornaments.
18. Christmas Candy Jars
Candy jars are an easy way to add a festive touch to any room. You can fill them with candy, ornaments, or any other small trinkets.
I love how this one is filled with red and white candies and is topped with a red bow and a sprig of greenery.
I also love how the candy is displayed on a cake stand. It makes it the perfect height to display on a table or countertop.
19. Christmas Wine Glass Candle Holders
The perfect way to use dollar store wine glasses is to turn them into candles. This is a very simple, but stunning project that has a big impact.
Just make sure to use a flameless candle. I have seen so many wine glass candle holders catch on fire.
20. Christmas Tree Napkin Fold
Napkin folding is a fun way to take your holiday tablescapes to the next level.
These Christmas tree napkins are easy to fold, and you can use any fabric napkin you have on hand.
If you don’t have napkins, you can also use paper towels to create the same look.
21. DIY Christmas Tree Stand Box
The perfect Christmas tree deserves the perfect stand, and this DIY version is so easy to make.
You can even personalize it with your family name or a fun holiday phrase.
22. Christmas Card Display
If you’re like me, you love a good Christmas card. But what to do with them all? Turn them into a Christmas tree display!
This is a fun and easy way to show off your favorite cards from friends and family, and it’s a great way to fill up a blank wall.
I used a few of my favorite cards and then added in a few of my own to fill in the gaps.
You can also use old cards, wrapping paper, or even fabric scraps to fill in the spaces.
23. Snowflake Coasters
These coasters are perfect for your Christmas party. They are a great way to protect your table from water stains and they look so pretty.
You can even use these as a little gift for your guests to take home. This is a quick and easy craft that you can do in bulk.
